Why is the world undergoing dramatic transformation? Because an increasing number of people are beginning to see through the structure of the old order. For a long time, society has seemed to operate according to an invisible proportion: approximately 1% of people occupy core positions within the system, holding the most critical power or capital; meanwhile, roughly 4% occupy secondary positions, responsible for maintaining and executing the operation of the entire structure. This 1% and 4% structure, through institutions, financial systems, policies, and rule design, continuously extracts resources and wealth from the remaining 95% of society.



However, this structure manifests differently across countries. In some nations, the 1% primarily represents centers of political power, while the 4% are mostly attached to the power system as capital and interest groups; in other countries, the 1% are more old money and large capitalist families, while the 4% constitute the political and institutional execution layer. Regardless of which form it takes, the essence remains the same: a stable alliance structure formed between power and capital.

Among the 95% of people covered by this system, approximately 90% do not actively seek to understand how the entire system operates. They maintain social functioning, yet find it difficult to see the full picture of the rules. But simultaneously, society always contains another segment—roughly 5% of people—who, through information, knowledge, and observation, form their own understanding of this structure and continuously attempt to communicate this understanding to the 90%.

When pressures accumulate in reality, and this awareness gradually spreads, a change emerges: pressure allows people to feel the problem, while awareness enables them to understand it. As an increasing number of people begin accepting this explanation, the originally stable old order begins to shake, and the world enters a phase of dramatic transformation.
